One way would be to configure run level 4 for home use, and run 
level 5 for use on the road. You could then have two entries in your 
grub.conf - one for normal run level 5 boot, and one for run level 4 
use. You would have to use chkconfig to have the proper services 
running at the correct levels.

Another possibility, but one I have no experience with, would be to 
have NetworkManagerDispatcher run a script that mounts the Samba 
shares when you connect to your home network, and unmounts them as 
part of the shutdown process. This has the advantage of making the 
change without rebooting or running telinit as root. But I am not 
sure exactly how to do it... I suspect that you can have it run one 
script when connecting to a specific network, and another when 
disconnecting from it.
